Corporate Mess In Edmonton

from Allan Maki of the Globe and Mail,
What was once a workable arrangement — a group of 34 men and women banding together for a common good — has now become a pit of slithering vipers.
Depending on whom you listen to, the Edmonton Investors Group is either going to sell the Oilers to local billionaire Daryl Katz or tell him to take another hike. The remaining shareholders are either going to buy out those who want to sell, or perhaps a splinter group will form and make an independent offer for the team.
Anything and everything is in play, including the gamesmanship, which is running at an all-time high. Consider what’s happened in the past few weeks.
